    God The Mother: In The Teachings Of Christ

    Jesus Christ came to this earth as man 2000 years to give us the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Again and again he said that he came to give us the eternal life and ultimately to take us back to heaven where there is no death, no pain, or sorrow. When we look at his teachings, however, we can find his words which indicates that it is only God the Mother who can give us the eternal life.

    Jesus and Salvation

    Jesus came down to this earth for the salvation of our souls and the most important teaching of Jesus for this purpose is “the eternal life.” Without receiving eternal life on this earth, it is impossible to enter into the kingdom of heaven because the kingdom of heaven is the place where there is no death and the very first condition for the entrance of heaven is to receive the eternal life.

    About the importance of eternal life to enter into heaven, Jesus taught:

    John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

    The very first condition to enter into the kingdom of heaven is to be born again, in other words, we must be born again spiritually and receive the spiritual life, that is, eternal life. About the way to receive eternal life, he continue to say:

    John 4:13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

    John 10:10   The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

    Jesus said that the purpose of his coming was to give “life to the full” or “eternal life.” Since he was the source of eternal life, people must know Jesus to receive eternal life.

    John 17:3  Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

    Eternal Life in the Last Days

    Even though Jesus was God the Father, who was the source of the water of life, he promised that the eternal life would be given at the last day. Just as a physical father gives physical life in this earth, he was the spiritual Father who could give us the spiritual life, eternal life. But why did he say that eternal life would be given at the last day.

    John 6:39  And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”…… 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. …. 53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

    Over again he says that the eternal life would be given at the last day. Why is the eternal life given only at the last day? And when is the last day? These are important questions to ask to receive eternal life. 2000 years when Jesus came, He was the male image of God, God the Father who could give us eternal life. But as we have seen before, the main life-giver is a female or mother according to the will of God.

    Even though he came as the last Adam as a life-giving spirit, it was not the will of God to give life to the children by himself. Life is given by a mother and in the same way the eternal life must be granted by the last Eve, or God the Mother. Then when would God the Mother appear to give us eternal life?

    Orvieto, Creation of Eve (Source: Wikimedia Commons)

    Since Christ came as a pattern of Adam and God the Mother would appear as Eve, we must first look at the story of Adam and Eve to find out the time of their appearance. According to the book of Genesis when did God create Adam and Eve? On the sixth day. Adam was created first and after Adam was put into a deep sleep God created Eve out Adam’s flesh and blood. Then what is the spiritual meaning of this story?

    2 Peter 3:8  But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

    In the prophecies of the bible the time has a parabolic meanings too. Sometimes a day can be calculated as a year (Numbers 15:34, Ezekiel 4:6); and a day, a thousand years. In this system, the six-day creation can be understood as six thousand years of God’s spiritual creation work for our salvation. And the seventh day rest can be matched to 1000 years of spiritual rest which would follow the completion of the salvation work of six thousand years. (Revelation 20:6)

    According to this plan of God for our salvation, Eve must appear at the last day or the 6th day, which can be equivalent to the end of God’s 6000 years of salvation work. The bible scholars say the Old Testament spans the history of 4000 years from Adam to the appearance of Christ and from Christ up to the present time, 2000 years. In short, we are living at the time frame of the biblical last day. And according to the prophecies of the bible, in our time the last Eve or God the Mother appear to give us the eternal life.

    Conclusion

    Jesus was waiting for the prophetical time for the coming of God the Mother when he said that he would raise them up at the last day. Without the appearance of God the Mother, eternal life could not be given to children

    We can confirm this through his crucifixion too. For Eve to be revealed, first Adam must be put into a deep sleep and his side must be cut open and his rib bone must be broken apart. Spiritually, sleeping means death (John 11:13) and to fulfill the prophecy of Adam Jesus died on the cross and his side was split open. (John 19:34) According to the bible, he was planned to go through all these pains and suffering even from the beginning. Why then? It was for God the Mother to be revealed to the children who would receive the eternal life.

    In our time, the Last Adam Christ Ahnsahnghong came and revealed to us the Last Eve God the Mother to us. And He taught us to follow Mother by saying, “I follow Mother.” And He gave us an example to teach us that we also should follow Mother. Let us accept God the Mother who is the last hidden mystery of God given to us for our salvation.

  • [WMSCOG] BRONZE SNAKE AND CROSS

    The bible says that Jesus came as spiritual Moses to teach Israelites the Laws of God, just as Moses was sent to teach the Israelites the laws of God.

    Acts 3:20   20 and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. 21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. 22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’

     

    Cross Worship.jpg
    Is a cross an object of worship?

     
    Through this we can see that Jesus came as prophet like Moses to fulfill the work of God. Just as Moses were leading God’s people out of the land of slavery, Jesus was sent by God to set his people free from the slavery of sin and death. The life and work of Moses was given to us to teach us the work of Jesus. There is a wonderful example taught by Jesus himself.
     

    John 3:14   Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

    Jesus is comparing his crucifixion to the bronze snake Moses lifted up in the desert. What kind of relationship is there between the two events? To understand this we must first look at the work of Moses and then the work of Jesus. In the desert because of the lack of food and water, people started to complain and grumble, causing the wrath of God, who sent deadly snakes to kill grumblers.
     

    Numbers 21:6       Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. 7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.

    When people repented of their sins, God relented and gave them salvation.
     

    Numbers 21:8    The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

    God could have done many different things to save them. He could have simply removed all the snakes from them, or he could have given different objects or ways to save them such as say, “Forgive me,” loudly, or jump three times, or stand up on your head… But rather God commanded Moses to make a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. And when a person is bitten by a snake he could look at the snake and live. Then what was it that could give them life in this story? A pole, a bronze snake, jumping, shouting, standing on your head…? No. The promise of God given to the bronze snake: “Anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”
     
    But foolishly Israelites started to worship the bronze snake, thinking it has certain power to heal people for about 700 years until the time of King Hezekiah.
     

    2 Kings 18:3    He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father David had done. 4 He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.)

     
    Finally, 700 years later King Hezekiah realized that it is just an idol and broke the bronze snake into pieces calling it Nehushtan or a piece of bronze. This story of the bronze snake in the time of Moses was working as prophecy to be fulfilled by the work of Jesus. Jesus is comparing his death on the cross to the bronze snake. Moses made the bronze snake to give people life, but it was not the bronze snake itself that could give them life, rather, it was the words of God contained in the bronze snake. The bronze snake was just a tool chosen by God at that moment to give them life. But Israelites started to depend on the bronze snake for their life, rather than the words or commands of God which could truly give them life.
     

    Cross Shape
    Making a cross is fun!?

     
    It was the same with the cross. Jesus gave precious promises of God for the eternal life to his people. To fulfill the promise he must sacrifice himself.
     

    Hebrews 9:16   In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

    For the life of his people he made a will or covenant on the night of Passover, promising them the forgiveness of sins and eternal life and to fulfill the will the one who made the will must die. And to fulfill his promise, Jesus chose the crucifixion as tool. Here what is important for the salvation is to keep the words of God in the Passover, not the cross which was only a piece of wood used as tool to complete the promise. But what did people started to do? They started to worship the cross just as Israelites started to worship the bronze snake. As Hezekiah broke the bronze snake into pieces, we must now get rid of the cross. And to the obedience to the words of God, we must keep the Passover of the new covenant which gives us the salvation.
     
    We must be like King Hezekiah who broke into pieces the bronze snake, which was pleasing in the eyes of God. How much God would feel pleased when we get rid of cross from us which is considered as detestable things in the eyes of God. These are the true teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother.
